I`m looking for a set of hot rollers, and here is what I seek: preferably only jumbo rollers (many sets have different sizes, but I only need the largest) and most importantly, there must be some "coating" on the roller other than metal (such as a soft felt).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Conair makes a set of jumbo rollers with the flocked coating (like velvet). They are 1 1/2 inches in diameter and come either 5 or 12 to a set. I have used them and they are really good. You can view them at the company web site (conair.com). You might even find a set for sale on eBay. Worth a look. Good luck!

I have the Conair ones too, but if you get them get the Conair little "bear traps" ( I don`t know what you call those thingys). They wouldn`t stay in my hair with the regular hair roller thing they come with. The "little bear claw/traps " come separately. They`re really good to use for a lot of things - (besides catching little bears) like keeping your hair up when you wash your face etc.

Merlin, thanks for the wonderful suggestion! I found the 12 roller set at K-mart yesterday and have already used them -- they`re WONDERFUL and exactly what I wanted! I didn`t think it would be possible to find all the rollers the same size, and it`s wonderful not to have to "wait" and reheat the rollers because I didn`t have enough.

I have a set that a kind of velcro surface, and they okay for shorter wisps, but I personally don`t like them on longer hair at all. The flocked coating on the new rollers is absolutely ideal. Thanks again!

Claudia, you have me curious about the "bear traps!" What are they?

Claudia -- oh wait, are they like the "grabbers" at the top of this page?

(Btw, I looked around the Hairboutique for an illustration but didn`t seem to see any)

Yes, they are. Only they are smaller and they come in a box with about 12. They were right by the Conair rollers, and they hold the rollers in place perfectly. I got mine at Target for 9.99.

You can see a picture of them at the Conair website:

They grip the hair a little more firmly than the typical metal picks - especially if you have fine hair.
